Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Why should I choose Shelley Video for my wedding video?
Because we believe that what is said on a wedding day is as important as how everything looks, we focus on capturing both quality video and quality audio and blending them together very intentionally. We also do our best to be creative in how we tell the story without overly confusing the timeline of the day. We want our videos to help our couples remember and relive the day. It is an amazing experience to be able to rewatch the footage, hear the beautiful words that are spoken throughout the day, see the look on each other’s faces when you are together for the first time, watch your friends and family enjoy the festivities, and notice all of the things that helped make your day so special. When choosing a videographer, it is incredibly important to find one with a style of storytelling that you love! Watch several videos and notice how the timeline is laid out, the pacing, what parts of the day they focus on, the audio clips they use, and the feelings you experience while watching. Of course, each video is going to be different depending on the couple, the venue, and the feel of the day, but if you watch a few different videos, you will be able to get an idea of how you feel about their style. We hope you will do that with ours as well.
2. How long will we have to wait to receive the final product?
We are contractually obligated to deliver the final product within 4 months of the wedding date, though we will more likely deliver it within 1-2 months.
3. Will we feel uncomfortable with the number of cameras around us?
We are only as involved as you want us to be. We shoot a lot with telephoto lenses, which allows us to be out of the way as we get candid shots. We work in tandem with the photographers, allowing them to lead most of the day to not overwhelm the couple. We also do our best to not disrupt the ceremony while still getting the shots we need.
4. How do we handle payment and the deposit?
To officially book us, you will need to turn in a completed contract and the deposit, which is 10% of the total package amount. The remaining balance will be paid prior to two weeks before the wedding date. Taxes will not be added on top of the package price. The only additional expenses would be travel fees depending on the location of the wedding day festivities and a 3% transaction fee if you choose to pay with a credit card.
